  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

  3. Rub spice mixture evenly over chicken breasts and place on top of potatoes.
  4. Pour chicken broth around the edges (not over chicken to keep coating intact).
  5. Add lemon slices if using.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until chicken reaches 165°F internally.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, brown chicken in skillet before slow cooking.
  • Add carrots or green beans during last hour of cooking.
  • Make gravy with juices: Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water, stir into juices, and cook on HIGH for 15 minutes.
  • Leftovers keep refrigerated for 3-4 days.
  • For creamier version, add 1/2 cup heavy cream during last 30 minutes.
